About 25 years ago I drove a group in a limo from Northern NY to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada to a ZZ Top concert...They had me park the car just outside of the entrance so started talking to one of the security guys...Once the concert got under way the security guy asked if I wanted to watch the concert...He took me inside and up on a level looking down on the stage...I didn't stay too long because I didn't want to leave the car unattended, but what I remember more than the band was the beautiful women dancers also on the stage...Thanks for the video
I was 10 or 11 when this video came out and MTV played it sooooooo much. I loved MTV as a kid. It was all videos back then like you would listen to the radio. They did a quick MTV music news at 10 til every hour that was a few minutes long and back to the videos. Videos like this would get played once a hour. This is a example how MTV made song hits. Without this video would this song have been so popular? 80's had these fun and goofy story telling videos. Drew you right in.
This is by far my favorite ZZ Top song and one of my favorite music videos EVER. You have two people being treated like dirt at their jobs and Karma, in the form of the three ladies, comes to intervene on their behalf while also setting them both up together. Unfortunately, you are the only reactor that I have seen react to this song and music video. I hope others will follow your lead. Thanks.
One of the best concert events that I ever saw (and I saw a lot) was seeing ZZ Top in Dallas for this tour. The local radio station handed out hundreds of “cheap sunglasses” and long, fake beards to the audience with strict rules not to put them on until they played Cheap Sunglasses. The song started, and everyone costumes up. They only made it a few more bars before the band had to stop playing because they were laughing so hard. We saw that as a victory. In all seriousness, they were a seriously tight band, just the three of them. Huge sound and always spot on. It was a helluva night. I still have my ZZ chrome keychain too.
My wife lived a rather sheltered life. One day she was cleaning house and singing, "I want a Pearl Necklace ". I then explained to her what that means. She was very embarrassed saying she sang the song with her daughter in the car! Lol
Like I said the other night, the guys in the band are guardian angels, and the girls in the car are too, helping make things right for good people who can’t seem to catch the breaks in life because they are surrounded by jerks.
Definitely keep ZZ Top in the rotation, a rabbit hole you will enjoy. One of the bands that put Texas Blues on the map, especially in their early days (70s). Outstanding blues based band.
One of my favorite videos! I love how she gets revenge on the jerks but is nice to the bikers who were nice to her at the beginning. And that nice mustached gentleman ends up with the girl in white (who I personally wanted to be because she was so cool).
The women are so pretty in that video, when I was 12 I took my mom's camera and took a picture of the tv screen when they came out of the car. Lol, my mom was mad because back then she had to get the film developed in a camera shop. When looking through the family pictures she saw these sexy women and wanted to know who took the pic! I got busted, but I got the picture! Those were some fun times! Just what a 12 year old boy needs, some ZZ Top videos! :)
You probably dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!
@Major Jason thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
One of their best - and one of the best 80s videos of all-time - they always have so much fun w/them - when videos mattered & had content/narrative/creativity. ZZ Top is vastly underrated and if you can see them in concert. Amazing. Their take on CINDERELLA is continued w/Sharp Dressed Man which yes you so need to watch!
Thank you for taking this video, and all videos from the 80's, the way they were meant to be taken. Just as fun. Your reaction was a chefs kiss of perfection!! So, thank you!!
You paused the video at the guitar spin and you didn't notice. Of course you were excited. Lol Now other great ZZ Top songs you will like are: Pearl Necklace, Sharp Dressed Man, Double Back, Sleeping Bag, Roughboy, La Grange and many more.
HAHA!!! I love ZZ Top videos. The plot is always the same -- someone is getting bullied or harassed, so ZZ Top and their group of sexy women show up and harass the haters, hand the person the keys to their truck, and save the day.
Yess those are FUR GUITARS!!, ZZ are such showmen, this song was staple MTV, ...Love how the fairy godmothers swoop in and right the wrongs and give Cinderella her makeover. That was a thing wearing socks with high heels, I tried that too, it was cutesy, you know,..I wore them with straight leg jeans, it was the 80's afte all😉, keep checking ZZ out , they rock girl....Peace ✌
Yeah, they always had fun videos and loved their songs. I was probably about that girl's age at the time and I'm 55 now. So all the young people in that video are in their 50's and 60s now. lol Time goes way too fast! Great reaction!
I remember going to the rock club back in the day (Jillys Manchester for anyone familiar :) ) and when these early ZZ Top songs came on the big video screen, we'd all be up dancing and checking out the girls.....great times :)
The hit rod car is the one depicted on their album cover "Eliminator". It is the album Legs, Gimmie All Your Lovin', and Sharp Dressed Man are from. The album was a massive hit.
India... I love the living daylights out of you keep up the good work... Take care and don't loose your personality and charm no matter what in life...
The fur covered bass and guitar are actually covered in sheepskin. They were built Dean Zelinsky, the founder of Dean Guitars. Billy Gibbons called Dean at 3:00 AM, to tell Dean that he was sending him sheepskin from Scotland and he wanted Dean to build him two guitars for the upcoming tour. Dean painted them all white, covered them in sheepskin and then used horse shears to trim away a strip of sheepskin for the pickups. Dean and his crew were still gluing the sheepskin onto the tuning pegs when the FedEx guy showed up. He had to while they finished with the bass and guitar. The next day, ZZ Top received the guitars and shot the video.
When music videos came to TV, this was one of first I ever watched. I didn't care for most of the 80s music but we stayed up late to see the videos. This was one of my favorites.
Love this song..AND the video..its boths classics..they suceeded to wove in an entire little story into their music video..the music vidoes were better in the past...but the most important is still,the music..and it can stand on its own...very good song..
I loved 80's music and the entire vibe of that decade. Yes, we had our issues, problems, political strife but man, music was so amazing. The top 10 could include pop, rap, heavy metal and blues all at the same time. We listened to so many different styles of music. We watched music videos endlessly and stayed up late to watch them (Friday Night Videos). It was such an amazing decade. I'd jump back to the 80's any day of the week. I miss it.
Agreed, though at the time thought it was a great 80's crossover. Still retained some raunchiness . Unfortunately the next few went way synth pop . Duegeullo was my fave, "Cheap Sunglasses" for sure!
India, you are sooooo adorable, and cute with your reactions-especially when you react to these cheesy/good old days, music videos🌟🌟🌟it's easy to see, you get excited and show your spontaneous emotions, instead of just sitting there like a lump on a log, like so many other people with reaction channels. You just have a genuine, authentic likability about you, and I rarely comment, because thinking of the right words to say, kills my binge watching sessions on your channel, which I purposely do, every few weeks, so I can just spend a day or night watching one reaction after the other. Hey, when you have 1.2k likes and only 24 dislikes, you know you are doing something right! And you are doing everything right, dahhhhling✌👍🌟🏆
"Tube Snake Boogie" is actually referring to surfing in the Gulf of Mexico, and "Squeeze Box" refers to an accordion. Easily manipulated into double entendres.
this is what really put them on the MTV map..and gave him a lot of worldwide Acclaim with folks that didn't realize they were just a little blues band from Texas in the 70s what cool is you're not just finding the album if you're getting the original videos from back in the day when MTV was a Pioneer and they used to actually play music..because it stood for Music television whatever the hell they call it now beats the shit out of me lol
saw them in concert over the summer and they used the same guitars, only for this song. very iconic. during another song, one of them had an unlit cigar in his mouth and a stagehand had to light it on stage, so chill
Yes, as someone else already mentioned do Sleeping Bag, then Rough Boy off the Afterburner album. It was their follow up to Eliminator, and the two songs are two completely different styles.
A lot of ZZ Tops videos followed the same basic structure: Boy/Girl are picked on. The 3 ladies show up and help them over come their obstacles. Two of the videos are definite sequels to each other: "Sleeping Bag" flows right into "Rough Boy". I recommend both of those next. Rough Boy is steamy.
I enjoy seeing your reaction video. Not sure if you've seen it but you should for SURE watch Alicia Villarreal Te quedó grande la yegua... You will love it. The words to that song are just 👌🔥. I can't wait to watch you see it
Hi India, I'm sure you have noticed that all the songs/videos from the Eliminator album feature ZZTop and/or the ladies acting like fairy godparents to help unnoticed hardworking peeps get their due...Just love your reactions -- and your hair is always so gorgeous
“Are they playing furry guitars?!” lol Yeah, as a teen this video really made an impression on me. Those frilly ankle socks and high heels....I don’t know who thought of it but they should get a Nobel nod at least lol This is a jam for sure.
She is the typical "Girl Next Door" that people take for granted, but is a knockout in disguise lol
I never had one of those.. damn.
Bingo!
Surprisingly the actress never had a career after this video even though was an absolute stunner. The girls in the car were all Playboy models.
Yyyyyyyyy
T and I
In the video , yes.
The song is about a stripper.
I love the way they spin those fur-covered guitars!
The 80s clothes are on point!!!
It WAS made in the ‘80’s.
Right down to the lace ankle socks ❤️
@@WAG926 I remember my mom loving that video *except* for the socks with the high heels lol, but I thought it was the cutest look!
Surprisingly they have 100 great songs that I forgot about. 3 man band . Epic band!
When the "M" in MTV stood for music.
Now it's "Mongoloid".
:,-( I miss my MTV.
Tracie Nielson Indeed!

ZZ Top is famous for the two guys with the beards, and the guy without one, his last name is Beard, it's true Frank Beard.
Always loved that fact.

"Pearl Necklace!" yeah that one. LOL. ZZ top were bad ass in their day.
My wife lived a rather sheltered life. One day she was cleaning house and singing, "I want a Pearl Necklace ". I then explained to her what that means. She was very embarrassed saying she sang the song with her daughter in the car! Lol
That kinda jewelry she's talkin' 'bout, really don't cost that much.
Even these days
Still bad ass
They still tour.
Like I said the other night, the guys in the band are guardian angels, and the girls in the car are too, helping make things right for good people who can’t seem to catch the breaks in life because they are surrounded by jerks.
I was hoping you would do this one!! Legs one of my top 5 of the 80's!
These guys knew how to have fun! This is my favorite one of theirs. We used to dance to this.
Definitely keep ZZ Top in the rotation, a rabbit hole you will enjoy. One of the bands that put Texas Blues on the map, especially in their early days (70s). Outstanding blues based band.

Greatness reaction!! ZZ Top is always timeless classic music that will never get old!
India is a hard working woman. Show you appreciate her with a thumbs up.
La Grange is when I bought a ZZ-Top album.
Eliminator is nice though.
The original car is in the rock hall. Been there for years
@@andreadeamon6419 Got a SE V7 Billy Gibbons microphone I use on my vocoder.
@@mikehydropneumatic2583 that is awesome ❤
“a haw, haw, haw, haw, a haw...”. Epic song.
@@andreadeamon6419 I like all kinds of music, Kraftwerk, Zappa, Robert Johnson...

Takes me back to high school. I love ZZ Top, but I like their older stuff, before the electronics.
Now this song is killer when they play it live! They put on such a great show!!!
Thank you for taking this video, and all videos from the 80's, the way they were meant to be taken. Just as fun. Your reaction was a chefs kiss of perfection!! So, thank you!!

How did this song only get to number 8?!? That was a killer year for music if it only reached 8. It was all over the place. A huge hit.
Love your reacts! This is pure 80's. I remember when this was brand new. Keep it up!
'80s! I loved my MTV!
Great ZZ Top song, I loved the REACTION!
The best music to listen to while traveling this great country. :)
I went to this concert. I have seen them twice!
Yeah, they always had fun videos and loved their songs. I was probably about that girl's age at the time and I'm 55 now. So all the young people in that video are in their 50's and 60s now. lol Time goes way too fast! Great reaction!
OMG! You cut it at the sacred moment! Spinning the fuzzies!
Favorite ZZ Top song right here. Great strip song.
This was my favorite music video growing up! 💗
Those women come in like BOSSES and it's like come on girl we got your back...👏👏👏
I love how you interpret the video and your facial expressions! Beautiful!!
I love thia lady. She has a beautiful personality and an open mind.
This album made them superstars of the 80's
They are all about the ladies. We can't help but love the ladies.
The Eliminator album is amazing. I use to listen to it on my dads record player in the 80s all the time and now I get to play it on mine now.
I remember going to the rock club back in the day (Jillys Manchester for anyone familiar :) ) and when these early ZZ Top songs came on the big video screen, we'd all be up dancing and checking out the girls.....great times :)
Love me some ZZ top!! You're reaction was great!👍🎸💕
Tush n sharp dressed man are 2 other greats. Love your rwact to this one
This Song & Video Has Been My Life Long Mantra!! Yes That’s Fur On The Guitar!! 🔥🔥
Cool video and one of those songs that snuck something in back in the radio days - "Shit, I got to haaaave her."
ZZ top "Rough Boy" is Amazing !
The hit rod car is the one depicted on their album cover "Eliminator".
It is the album Legs, Gimmie All Your Lovin', and Sharp Dressed Man are from.

ZZ Top was still is one of my favorite 80’s bands.
saw zztop live in san diego stadium about 30 years ago it was wonderful

Its a running theam through out all their videos them and their women roll into town in that badass ride and rescue the geeky kids
Love it! Great reaction and perfect interpretation.
You are just beautiful!! I love watching your "Reaction", but you are incredibly intelligent and such a beautiful person! Just wanted to say!
THe Car and the fuzzy guitars play a prominent role in a lot of their videos!!!!!!!
One of my favorite videos!!! Love it
There was a bunch of "nerd gets the hot chick in the end" stories during the 80's. It was awesome, lol.
Love this song..AND the video..its boths classics..they suceeded to wove in an entire little story into their music video..the music vidoes were better in the past...but the most important is still,the music..and it can stand on its own...very good song..

Love that' '32 chop top Ford , almost as much as third music.
Rough Boy is really cool. Cool video too.
I still say the old stuff is best. ZZ Top - "Blue Jean Blues", "Cheap sun Glasses", "Waitin for the Bus and Jesus just left Chicago"
Yes, "Jesus Just Left Chicago". ZZ Top, "that little band from Texas".
Agreed, though at the time thought it was a great 80's crossover. Still retained some raunchiness . Unfortunately the next few went way synth pop . Duegeullo was my fave,
"Cheap Sunglasses" for sure!
You ought to listen to "Mexican Blackbird"...
@@debbie9769 Of course. seen it live several times!
Saw this in concert and it was awesome! They do still have the fussy guitars. This was 2 weeks ago
Yeah!!!! 🤘🏽 😎 such a great song!

Listen to ZZ Top's "Tube Snake Boogie" & then you'll ask how it got past the censors back then, same with "Squeeze Box" by the Who...lol
Or peal necklace
Or even "Pearl Necklace"
"Tube Snake Boogie" is actually referring to surfing in the Gulf of Mexico, and "Squeeze Box" refers to an accordion.
Easily manipulated into double entendres.
@@MrDaveB56 sure because surfing is best at 2 A.M.
The girl on the hill's sister is alright by me.
Such an iconic video, an 80's rock version of Cinderella.
this is what really put them on the MTV map..and gave him a lot of worldwide Acclaim with folks that didn't realize they were just a little blues band from Texas in the 70s
what cool is you're not just finding the album if you're getting the original videos from back in the day when MTV was a Pioneer and they used to actually play music..because it stood for Music television whatever the hell they call it now beats the shit out of me lol
You still dont get it.. ZZ Top is selling fantasy..The car and the ZZ key-chain are magic...
And the car is called The Eliminator. That's why it appears in all these videos.
A best guy friend of mine has that exact looking keychain decades later- hung in his K-5 Blazer-🤘🏼
Wife still has and uses the key chain we got at a concert in Austin in 1986.
This video is a modern day Cinderella tale and told very well.
@@kieberg the best year ever!
Amazing how just three guys can make this thick a sound.
I knew you'd enjoy this one.😁 I always looked at this series of videos as ZZ Top being some very cool fairy godfathers.👍
FWIW...that car is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
You totally HAVE to do Sharp Dressed Man! That's totally THE ZZ Top song!
Love that album!🏎⚡️
Someone knocking on your door had me checking my front door. Lol.
Boys from Texas! Badasses.
Billy Gibbons' guitar tone from this era is one of my favorites of all time.
That's just a dam good song
I forgot how wholesome ZZ Top videos were.
saw them in concert over the summer and they used the same guitars, only for this song. very iconic. during another song, one of them had an unlit cigar in his mouth and a stagehand had to light it on stage, so chill
Rough Boy has the most stunning zztop video.
Yes, as someone else already mentioned do Sleeping Bag, then Rough Boy off the Afterburner album. It was their follow up to Eliminator, and the two songs are two completely different styles.
They are so cool it hurts.
A lot of ZZ Tops videos followed the same basic structure: Boy/Girl are picked on. The 3 ladies show up and help them over come their obstacles.
Two of the videos are definite sequels to each other: "Sleeping Bag" flows right into "Rough Boy". I recommend both of those next. Rough Boy is steamy.
Unexpected friends... ZZ Top and Depeche Mode are good friends.
ZZ Top - Tube Snake Boogie
I enjoy seeing your reaction video. Not sure if you've seen it but you should for SURE watch Alicia Villarreal Te quedó grande la yegua... You will love it. The words to that song are just 👌🔥. I can't wait to watch you see it
Hi India, I'm sure you have noticed that all the songs/videos from the Eliminator album feature ZZTop and/or the ladies acting like fairy godparents to help unnoticed hardworking peeps get their due...Just love your reactions -- and your hair is always so gorgeous
“Are they playing furry guitars?!” lol
Yeah, as a teen this video really made an impression on me. Those frilly ankle socks and high heels....I don’t know who thought of it but they should get a Nobel nod at least lol
This is a jam for sure.
guuuuuuuuuuuurl !!! ZZ TOP Hard Rock MASTERS !!!
reminds me when I used to watch Mtv , great songs & great music videos
Blue jeans blues zztop , you will love it
zz top , sleeping bag . car gets wrecked and reborn ,awesome
Rough Boy is one of my favourites. And La Grange. My mom used to blast that one in the car when we were kids.
